I don't wear
red
shoes nor lipstick
Only spice
earthly-
Fruit
I draw from memory -
half-dazed moon
peeling your skin
ripening
~0~0~
Spell
Night sky carried you
between violin percussions
& electric kisses
~0~0~
Unmasked
With you
i
become midnight
fire & oil
burnishing golden
First post is for Poetry Jam - Shoes or Feet hosted by Mary

Oh I expected you to do well here.. these are all little gems, the names are each such integrated part of the the whole form... wonderful
ReplyDeleteThanks Bjorn ~ Channelling my other persona to life, smiles ~
Deletespice is a good thing...and that comes out of personality...and attitude and many other things than just what we put on...its more who we are....the midnight oil in the last made me smile....do you remember that band?
ReplyDeleteA little bit, such a crazy band it was ~
DeleteThanks for the visit Brian ~
Ten words have never been so sensual and sexy. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteLoved all your "ten words-es"! Phew!
ReplyDeleteThe no red shoes and no lipstick... Loved the simplicity of it!
luv your lil vignettes; musr say i live the shoe one best
ReplyDeletehappy you stopped by to visit me at Verses
much love...
Very seductive, Grace. And (smiles) perhaps that spice moreso than red lipstick or shoes.
ReplyDeleteA little spice can sure make the midnight oil burn bright
ReplyDeleteMy fav. "Spell" ~ nice painting with words.
ReplyDeleteSpicy can get red hot. Very sensual poetry as always.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day Grace.
very sensual... i love a red lipstick every once in a while but there's just something about earth that is more immediate than anything else..love the moon peeling the skin a lot as well
ReplyDeleteso much said n those ten words!
ReplyDeleteSo well said with so few words.
ReplyDeleteYou did well, Grace. I think the first poem is the one I like best.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the 10-word form. Amazing how much can be said in so few words. I too like the red-shoe poem.
ReplyDeleteYes, word-spice sensuality in spades; gems, fun, imaginative; great take on Brian's fun form. I like the lines /night sky carried you/between violin percissions/& electric kisses/.
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible.
ReplyDeleteYou enjoyed writing these, I can tell...perfect little tenWords!
ReplyDeletesultry - the perfect antidote to cold weather
ReplyDeleteLove how the "I" person sounds so down-to-earth and independent. Strong.
ReplyDeleteNo matter the ten words - very concise.
So sensual… You mastered this form!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the spell --I can listen those violin percussions and dream about an electric kiss.
Such an amazing imagination you have.
ReplyDeleteI love this piece by you.

Smooth and seductive, like where you took these.
ReplyDeleteThe art of seduction in ten words as you added your own spices. I enjoyed reading this Grace.
ReplyDelete"fire and oil burnishing golden"...really like that line!!
ReplyDeleteI'm never ever disappointed by your sensual poetry. Your words feel full and ripe in my mouth when I recite them... always a pleasure to read you.

ReplyDeleteLush, delicious words! You made every one count!
ReplyDeleteYour writing is so sensual, even with only ten words!
ReplyDeleteHeady with fragrance, sensuous. You managed so much with few words!
ReplyDeleteThese are all gems but the last one really took my breath.
ReplyDeletespice, over red any day... doesn't take a special person to buy red shoes; spice, tho - that's not in everyone...
ReplyDeleteThese are perfect. Thank you.
ReplyDeletecreating the beautiful from the fire of the ordinary, i can feel the enchantment in this.
ReplyDeleteGrace, these are all lovely gems to keep but your last take was seriously remarkable. You truly excel in short forms. Smiles. I hope you can still remember me... haha... the one who always disappear... glad to be blogging again.
ReplyDeleteAll wonderfully sensual despite their succinctness, Grace. Thanks. k. (Manicddaily.wordpress.)
ReplyDeleteI loved all these. The electric kisses really prickled. Tigerbrite.
ReplyDeleteEspecially loved the Fruits one! They're all beautiful though. You're so amazingly talented.
